From Wikipedia:
90125 is the eleventh album by progressive rock group Yes, released in 1983. It was the first album since the breakup of Yes in 1980. It is also the first album to feature Trevor Rabin, and features the return of vocalist Jon Anderson, who had quit the band in 1980. It also marked the first time in twelve years that original keyboardist Tony Kaye had appeared with the group.
The album was simply titled after its Atco Records catalogue number (for example, 7-90125-1 for the LP). Contrary to rumour, it was not named after an American ZIP code, nor is “90125“ even an actual ZIP code.
“Our Song“ was written by Yes members Jon Anderson (vocals), Trevor Rabin (guitars and keyboards), Chris Squire (bass) and Alan White (drums). The city of Toledo, Ohio is mentioned prominently in the lyrics. According to White, Yes’s 1977 show in Toledo was especially memorable to the band, mainly because of the temperature inside the Toledo Sports Arena: it was the hottest venue the band had performed in, reaching 126 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result of the Toledo mention, “Our Song“ received heavy airplay in Toledo following the release of 90125.
“Our Song“ reached number 32 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart in 1983. It was also released as a B-side of the number-one hit single “Owner of a Lonely Heart“.
Lyrics:
Toledo was just another good stop
Along the good king’s highway
My fortification took me by surprise
And hit me, sending me sideways
Spellbound, roundly, good for sunshine
Can’t help thinking
Singing the rule Britannia
And this is where it grabs you
There’s method in the key of C
Toledo’s got to be the silver city in this good country
Our song, it gives us a reason
Our song, that good remedy
Music has magic
That stuff of syncopation
Ever tried driving it to golden heights, just simply jiving it
My mystification it got a jewel sky crazy spacing it
Hot sun, crowded screams high voices
Singing speechless
Touching of the healing heart
So this is where we really start
Music is a shout of foregone conclusions
As long as music plays it’s part, good good part
Our song, it gives us a reason
Our song, that good remedy
Music and magic It’s good clear syncopation
Treat it good, treat it rightly
And if you get it flowing
The harmony is glowing
So get ready, so get ready
Don’t go Toledo, Toledo don’t go
Music, good to you
Music, good to you
